Maybelline Dream Mousse Blush Review

Dream Mousse by Maybelline will change the way you feel about blush and make you feel it is less of an optional makeup choice and more of a necessity!

For years I have used Neutrogena blushes. I have always felt that they give my skin a healthy glow. This time around I figured I would try something different. Seeing advertisements in several magazines for Dream Mousse Blush by Maybelline, I decided to give it a try.

I purchased my Dream Mousse in Soft Plum for just under $8 at CVS. It is always interesting if a product will live up to its name. The blush comes in a little glass tub that reminds me of the gel nail polish tubs my manicurist uses.

The contents of the tub looked appropriately just like a mousse. I pulled some out with my finger and put a dab on each cheek and then thought okay now what do I do? For years I had used powder blushes so the concept of using my finger to apply was foreign to me. Quickly I had it all figured out. Slowly I rubbed the mousse into my cheeks where I wanted the blush to stain.

As promised the Dream Mousse was light and airy feeling. Being that I hate feeling like I have caked on makeup, I generally mostly focus on finding the least suffocating makeup out there. Dream Mousse certainly fit the bill.

The color was pretty without being overwhelming. I have only tried the Soft Plum, which is a very pretty pink with a hint of plum.

Working for at least 8 hours a day also means that my makeup has to last for hours. Being that this makeup is not a powder but yet feels so light, I was a bit skeptical that it could do that. It passed the test however. My cheeks still had a pretty pinkish-plum shade staining them even after 12 hours!

Still a huge fan of all Neutrogena products, my new find does not mean that I will abandon an old favorite, however it is nice to have a few favorites!
